Not quite sure what you mean. Any suggestion to improved wording?
I liked the rest of the suggestions, and commited the changes. Here
are the new versions:
Description: Vote for your favourite packages automatically
The popularity-contest package sets up a cron job that will
periodically anonymously submit, to the distribution developers,
statistics about the most used packages on this system.
.
This information helps making decisions such as which packages should
go on the first CD. Also, it helps improving can improve future
versions of the distribution so that the most popular packages are
the ones which are installed automatically for new users.
.
Homepage: http://popcon.debian.org
Template: popularity-contest/participate
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Participate in the package usage survey?
The system may anonymously supply the distribution developers with
statistics about the most used packages on this system. This
information influences decisions such as which packages should go on
the first distribution CD.
.
If you choose to participate, the automatic submission script will
run once every week, sending statistics to the distribution developers.
The collected statistics can be viewed on http://popcon.debian.org/.
.
This choice can be later modified by running "dpkg-reconfigure
popularity-contest".
